Abstract

Contents

Cow/Calf: Analyses of Birthdate and Growth in Beef Heifers Categorized by Puberty and Pregnancy Status • Letrozole: A Steroid-Free Estrous Synchronization Method • Comparison of Two Alternate Prostaglandin Products in Yearling Beef Heifers • Impact of Pre-and Postpartum Nutrition on March-calving Cow and Progeny Productivity • Effects of Late Gestation Supplementation, Synchronization, and Creep Feeding in a Spring Calving Beef Herd in the Nebraska Sandhills • Effect of Supplementation during the Breeding Season on a May-calving Herd in the Nebraska Sandhills • Impact of Winter Supplementation of May Calving Cows and Heifer Development System in Two Different Breeding Seasons on Subsequent Growth and Reproduction • Chopped Sugar Beets as a Component of Beef Cow Diets • Effects of Production System on Cow and Calf Performance • Effect of Injectable Trace Mineral on Reproductive Performance in Beef Heifers

Growing: Steer Performance Grazing Corn Residue and Supplemented with Modified Distillers Grains plus Solubles with or without Urea • Supplementing Rumen Undegradable Protein to Grazing Cattle • Effect of Backgrounding System on Performance and Profitability of Yearling Beef Steers • Evaluation of Corn Distillers Solubles on Growing Steer Performance • Evaluation of Brown Midrib Corn Silage for Growing and Backgrounding Beef Steers • Nutrient Digestibility and Fermentation of Brown Midrib Corn Fed to Growing Beef Steers • Rumen Undegradable Protein Content and Digestibility of Corn Silage and High-moisture Corn • Impact of Intake on Methane Production in Growing Steers

Forage and Residue Resource Management: The Effect of Harvest Method and Ammoniation of Corn Residue on Growing Calf Performance • Late Summer Planted Oat-Brassica Forage Quality Change during Winter Grazing • The Effect of Inoculants on Nutrient Losses of Corn Silage and High-moisture Corn Stored in PVC Mini Silos • Effect of Continuous or Rotational Grazing on Growing Steer Performance and Land Production • Evaluating Methods of Estimating Forage Intake by Grazing Cattle

Animal Behavior and Management: Effects of Movement and Activity Behavior in a Pasture System Compared to Time • Repeated Calm Handling Can Lead to More Docile Cattle • Experience Improves the Reliability of Subjective Measurements of Temperament in Beef Cattle • Evaluation of Several Insecticide Delivery Methods for Managing Horn Flies (Haematobia irritans, Diptera: Muscidae) on Nebraska Pastured Cattle

Finishing: Evaluation of Corn Silage Hybrids with the Brown Midrib Trait and Silage Inclusion for Finishing Cattle • Effects of Kernel Processing at Harvest of Brown Midrib Corn Silage on Finishing Performance of Steers • Impact of Syngenta Enogen Feed Corn on Finishing Cattle Performance and Carcass Characteristics • Evaluation of Corn Distillers Solubles on Finishing Steer Performance • Evaluation of Protein from Distillers Grains in Finishing Diets on Nutrient Digestibility • Impact of Corn Oil Removal from Modified Distillers Grains Plus Solubles and Supplemental Corn Oil on Finishing Cattle Performance • Impact of Feeding Distillers Grains with or without Oil Removal as well as Supplemental Corn Oil on Nutrient Digestibility by Finishing Cattle • Impact of Ramackers Immune Primer on Finishing Beef Cattle Performance and Liver Abscess Rate • Evaluation of Revalor-XH for beef heifers fed different days on feed • Effect of Revalor-XR and Revalor-XH on Heifer Performance and Carcass Characteristics • Effects of Production System and Post-weaning Management on Finishing Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Steer and Heifer Calves

Beef Products: Production of High-quality Beef–The Nebraska Advantage • Shelf Life of Ground Beef from Cattle Fed Distillers Grains Containing Different Amounts of Oil • Using a Cured Meat Model System to Investigate Factors that Influence Cured Color Development • Effect of Myoglobin State on Color Stability of High Pressure Processed Ground Beef • Effect of Ingredients and Packaging on Color of High Pressure Processed Ground Beef • Antimicrobial Interventions and Application Time Effects on Ground Beef Quality • The Relationship between Marbling, Superoxide Dismutase, and Beef Tenderness • Potential Errors in Determination of Longissimus Muscle Area in Carcasses from Heifers Fed with or without Zilpaterol Hydrochloride • Impact of Dietary Fat Source on Beef Display Life
